state transitioning flags and of msleep(9) callings.
Use, instead, an algorithm very similar to what sx(9) and rwlock(9)
alredy do and direct accesses to the sleepqueue(9) primitive.
In order to avoid writer starvation a mechanism very similar to what
rwlock(9) uses now is implemented, with the correspective per-thread
shared lockmgrs counter.
This patch also adds 2 new functions to lockmgr KPI: lockmgr_rw() and
lockmgr_args_rw(). These two are like the 2 "normal" versions, but they
both accept a rwlock as interlock. In order to realize this, the general
lockmgr manager function "__lockmgr_args()" has been implemented through
the generic lock layer. It supports all the blocking primitives, but
currently only these 2 mappers live.
The patch drops the support for WITNESS atm, but it will be probabilly
added soon. Also, there is a little race in the draining code which is
also present in the current CVS stock implementation: if some sharers,
once they wakeup, are in the runqueue they can contend the lock with
the exclusive drainer. This is hard to be fixed but the now committed
code mitigate this issue a lot better than the (past) CVS version.
In addition assertive KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD have been made mute
assertions because they are dangerous and they will be nomore supported
soon.
In order to avoid namespace pollution, stack.h is splitted into two
parts: one which includes only the "struct stack" definition (_stack.h)
and one defining the KPI. In this way, newly added _lockmgr.h can
just include _stack.h.
Kernel ABI results heavilly changed by this commit (the now committed
version of "struct lock" is a lot smaller than the previous one) and
KPI results broken by lockmgr_rw() / lockmgr_args_rw() introduction,
so manpages and __FreeBSD_version will be updated accordingly.

BO_LOCK/UNLOCK/MTX when manipulating the bufobj.
- Create a new lock in the bufobj to lock bufobj fields independently.
This leaves the vnode interlock as an 'identity' lock while the bufobj
is an io lock. The bufobj lock is ordered before the vnode interlock
and also before the mnt ilock.
- Exploit this new lock order to simplify softdep_check_suspend().
- A few sync related functions are marked with a new XXX to note that
we may not properly interlock against a non-zero bv_cnt when
attempting to sync all vnodes on a mountlist. I do not believe this
race is important. If I'm wrong this will make these locations easier
to find.

It's possible that after ufs_infactive() calls softdep_releasefile(),
i_nlink stays >0 for a considerable amount of time (> 60 seconds here).
During this period, any ffs allocation routines that alter di_blocks
must also account for the blocks in the filesystem's fs_pendingblocks
value.
This change fixes an eventual df/du discrepency that will happen as
the result of fs_pendingblocks being reduced to <0.
The only manifestation of this that people may recognise is the
following message on boot:

bufdaemon might hold the buffer lock and give up writing the buffer due to it
having dependencies, the file system being suspended or the vnode lock being
held by another thread. When bufdaemon decides to write the buffer there is
still a window before bufobj_wref() has been called, allowing other threads to
believe that the vnode has no dirty buffers or inflight writes.

This does not do what I wanted as all dirty buffers must be flushed

the directory's inode after queuing the dirrem that will decrement
the parent directory's link count. This will force the update of
the parent directory's actual link to actually be scheduled. Without
this change the parent directory's actual link count would not be
updated until ufs_inactive() cleared the inode of the newly removed
directory, which might be deferred indefinitely. ufs_inactive()
will not be called as long as any process holds a reference to the
removed directory, and ufs_inactive() will not clear the inode if
the link count is non-zero, which could be the result of an earlier
system crash.
If a background fsck is run before the update of the parent directory's
actual link count has been performed, or at least scheduled by
putting the dirrem on the leaf directory's inodedep id_bufwait list,
fsck will corrupt the file system by decrementing the parent
directory's effective link count, which was previously correct
because it already took the removal of the leaf directory into
account, and setting the actual link count to the same value as the
effective link count after the dangling, removed, leaf directory
has been removed. This happens because fsck acts based on the
actual link count, which will be too high when fsck creates the
file system snapshot that it references.
This change has the fortunate side effect of more quickly cleaning
up the large number dirrem structures that linger for an extended
time after the removal of a large directory tree. It also fixes a
potential problem with the shutdown of the syncer thread timing out
if the system is rebooted immediately after removing a large directory
tree.

- ffs_disk_prewrite was pulling the vp from the buf and checking for

Since the summary is already re-sync'ed every 30 second, we will

in mind, it is more reasonable to transfer the responsibility to
background fsck, to reduce the delay after a crash.
Add a new sysctl variable, vfs.ffs.compute_summary_at_mount, to
control this behavior. When set to nonzero, we will get the
"old" behavior, that the summary is computed immediately at mount

Long term, it is worth looking at simply copying the data into
